It has been raining for days in Marihamadai — the first serious rain the city has seen in eight years. A client arrives at the Kibukawa Detective Office and asks specifically for a young man named Shirasagisu, who once worked there. The client has come to fulfill a promise made eight years ago to that specific person. The current detective assistant — Itsuna Shirasagisu — takes on the request in his absence. The investigation that follows is the story of an incident from eight years ago, and of the young man who worked alongside Ryousuke Kibukawa during the years when the rain last came to Marihamadai.
